Like that chap from that movie who used to put Windex on everything, my mom believes that ginger is the solution to all problems. If we’ve got stomach woes, she tries to get us to eat ginger. If we are breaking out, she tries to convince us to drink ginger tea. If we complain about each other’s bad breath, she’s trying to force raw ginger down our throats…though, ginger breath is pretty ridic itself! The same goes for if we are feeling under the weather. Speaking of feeling under the weather, have you noticed how as soon as a major event comes to pass (no matter if said major event was joyous or stressful) you tend to fall sick? Or, is that just me? During my move and even after, through all the unpacking, I felt like I was riding on an adrenaline wave! Then, as soon as the dust settled on the unpacked boxes, the sniffles started creeping in. And, o add to it, we are smack dab in the middle of germ season too!

*Serving Suggestion

While I do heed my mom’s advice and sneak ginger into the foods I eat, I also like to head to Kroger and stock up onCampbell’s®soup, Lipton tea, Premium Crackers, Theraflu and TYLENOL® brands for any emergency cough, cold and flu situation! When I feel like I’m on the cusp of getting sick, I always crave comforting baked treats (maybe it’s because I grew up with a father who would often tell my sister and I to “feed a cold and starve a fever” – which wasn’t based on any scientific knowledge whatsoever).

So, I usually bake loaves like this Easy Orange Ginger Loaf to keep on hand along with a supply of: • Campbell’s® soupCampbell’s® soups are made for Real, Real Life® and warm you up when you need it most. They also don’t contain any artificial colors/flavors. • Lipton Tea Lipton’s new wellness range of herbal supplements boosted with botanicals are said to help: a) Soothe Your Tummy – with Ginger, Peppermint, Fennel in a Caffeine Free Herbal Supplement b) Provide Daily Support – with Turmeric, Echinacea, Ginger Herbal Supplement with Green Tea c) Bedtime Bliss – Chamomile, Mint, Orange Peels in a Caffeine Free Herbal Supplement d) And, a Wellness, Wellbeing, Herbal Supplement, with Natural Essential Oils *These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Now, getting back to this Orange Ginger Loaf, it is really so easy to make, with only 8 ingredients – which you probably already have lying around. It uses olive oil instead of butter and fresh orange juice instead of milk. Stiffly beaten egg whites make it light and airy, and ginger adds in just another level of flavor. Also, it keeps my mom happy to know ginger is involved!

Now tell me, what’s in your emergency flu and cold kit?

Ginger and Orange unite in this delightfully delicious, butter-free, loaf-cake!

Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Add flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a bowl and mix with a spatula.

Then pour in the orange juice, olive oil, orange zest and ginger and mix with the spatula.

Then, using a handheld mixer, beat the egg whites till they are stiff. Using the same spatula, fold the egg whites into the orange ginger loaf batter gently and until well incorporated. Pour dough into a parchment lined loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Your Kitchen will smell heavenly - but resist the urge to open the oven till the hour is up. Let come to room temperature and enjoy as is or with whipped cream and fruit.

I had my flu shot this year and am keeping everything crossed that I don’t need an emergency flu kit — that said, I’d say this is a pretty comprehensive start. Except tomato soup — chicken noodle is the only way to go!

This sounds wonderful. Orange pairs so beautifully with ginger. This looks like it has the texture of a pound cake. You really have come up with a great plan for colds with soup, tea, crackers and that delicious loaf!

Ha ha, as much as I like ginger Shashi I think that forcing raw ginger down your throats to stop bad breath is a bit extremene! No, it’s definitely much, much better, and far more delicious and fun to eat slices of your Easy Orange Ginger Load I would think!

Raw ginger? Umph. Although I do have to agree with your mom a bit on the ginger front. My belly was really mad at me over the weekend, and I sipped on a ginger ale…totally did the trick! But now I’m wishing I had a slice of this loaf cake alongside that ginger ale. It looks perfectly baked, Shashi! And the flavors sounds phenomenal. Thanks so for sharing…and for the reminder to stock up on Tylenol for the cold season! 🙂

Haha! Ginger is pretty amazing…though, I wauldn’t want to eat it raw! I remember several years ago we moved and it was literally right before Christmas. Hubby lost weight and I got a cold. It was rough trying to get everything done. We didn’t even have our tree decorated that year, but at least we were moved in, lol. I love orange in baked goods and paired with ginger, I bet it is AMAZING!! And sooooo much better than raw ginger, lol. Stay warm and well, my friend! XOXO

I do agree with your Mom that ginger is good for many things, My mom would always tell me to fry some ginger along with some garlic, onion, and ghee. And guess what? it used to be a very effective remedy for a cough. I always prefer to have strong ginger tea, whenever I am down with cold. But you know what, my daughter is totally opposite to me. She just doesn’t like ginger. In fact, if I cook something by adding ginger to it. She doesn’t prefer to eat that. BTW the orange ginger loaf sounds tasty… thanks for sharing…. Pinned 🙂
